    • A Guide For Consumers
The book is primarily designed for consumers interested in finding out more about the hasics of HDTV for a home environment. It was not intended to be a technical discussion on HDTV. It was published before the US switched to the new DTV format from analog broadcasting. With the new broadcast standards, TV sets on sale are basically DTV, but some aspects of the book are still useful, particularly for such considerations as choice of set types, mounting, etc. ... show more

    • First, buy the book, THEN buy the TV!
Before I read this book, I was intimidated by the TV salespeople! By the time I finished the first three chapters, I was able to decipher most of the jargon, and realized that they really did not know a whole lot more than I did. I taught myself many things by reading (cooking, household repairs, wiring, even computers), but I really had my doubts about the HDTV thing. Well, it turns out that things are changing as fast in the TV world as they are in the computer world, and parts of this book are outdated, but that's OK because the author anticipates many of the changing standards and explains many of the improvements that have arrived since the book was written. This is a real buy, because there really isn't anything as comprehensive for the beginner out there now, and the book's price is very reasonable. A tip: buy a "new" copy that hasn't been written in, because you will want to make your own notes in the margins! Read and Learn! ... show more

    • Confusing
I cannot understand how anyone could give this book even a 2 star rating let alone a five star rating. Every third word of the text was an acronym and in at least one case an acronym appeard before it was defined. I was thoroughly confused from the git go. Furthermore if you are interested in finding out how HDTV works, you won't find any information on that in this book. I gave up after two chapters and returned it to the library. ... show more

    • HDTV gave me an idea of what I had to do
I got the book to fix the quality of my picture on my HDTV and it helped me look for the things I needed to do so.

    • Great book for a novice
I found this book to be very helpful in hooking up my new HDTV, VCR, Cable box and Tivo. By doing it myself, it saved me quite a bit of money. In addition to hooking everything up, I feel much more informed and understanding of how the whole system works. I actually enjoyed the learning experience and would recommend this book to anyone who simply wants to know how the whole thing works, or who wants to save money by doing it yourself. I do kind of think that someone who has no interest in computers, or anything technical might find the book not to their liking. ... show more
